  1. Puts a whole new meaning to being Ripped off
  2. Not going to help you by the sounds of it, but a good drummer is able to play at any volume without “compromising their style or whatever it means”. You could suggest using rods instead of sticks. I find these type of band mates frustrating. But it sounds like you want to keep him onside. Good luck.
  3. There’s a joke in my family that wherever we go on holiday (UK or abroad) I’ll find a guitar shop. And yes, I’ll usually buy something, more so these days with so many high street retailers closing down. But it’s usually strings or the like.
  4. I’m aware it’s a punt, and it’s covered in scratches and dings. No idea if the truss rod works and what condition structurally the neck is in. But from images it doesn’t look like anything I can’t sort. 🙏🤞
  5. Did a bit of research and reviews on this model. All had good right ups. That Dimarzio with the switching seems to be the star billing. But I always thought that the Longhorn design is cool as flock but I don’t get on with short scale necks. I’m a bit worried about the strap pin placement as I tend to like the horn strap pin on the 12th fret, like Ps and J style. But I’ll get over it, coz I’m shallow. 🤣 I’ll do a review.
  6. And replied Rob. cheers John
  7. As title. Off an Encore Strat. Nice neck perfectly useable. The line on the back of the neck is not a crack or split, it’s a stain run or something of that ilk. Free for collection or £10 P&P
  8. I upped my offer now it’s “being considered “
  9. Thing is I’ve always wanted a danelectro longhorn long scale. Now I’ve put an offer in it’s hard to not keep going 🤣
  10. Put an offer in, was declined thankfully. Don’t need it, but so what. Do I increase the offer or walk away 🤪
  11. Thats what I thought. Looks great. 👍🏻
  12. I’d want to know (if I joined a band) how the last incumbent “left”. Says a lot about people how they deal with others. Although of course you’re likely to only hear one side unless you can be bothered to find the ex member.
  13. It’s ok, it was a joke, a reference to past arguments about the use of music stands.
  14. Darn it! I wanted Gail to know how disappointed this community is with her use of a music stand
  15. Badly placed decal too, let alone the wonky machineheads.
  16. For that price I’d want a taxi thrown in to get me to the fret board. Have you seen the action on that??
  17. Ha, I know what they paid for that. Nice profit if it sells. I have one. The body, hardware and pickups are superb, I wasn’t keen on the neck profile, but it was well enough made. I put a P neck on mine and it’s retired my other basses.
  18. Relisted. Squier VM or CV Body, in great nick and lovely aged white finish. Loaded with a hot G&L MDF pup and lovely Ki0gon loom, gold pickguard. Colour comparison to the arctic white jazz bass. £180 posted.
  19. Unknown make neck. P profile nut width. Rosewood board. I’ll put measurements up later. Comes with some NOS Korean made Akkord machineheads, screws and string tree. I’ll throw in a neck plate and screws if you need them. Some tarnish to 12th fret. £50 posted.
  20. I haven’t tried to fit the neck to the body, or the machineheads to the neck. But I have offered up the neck and it looks like a snug fit with perhaps a little sanding, after removing the scratchplate.
  21. Lovely P body, loaded with a beast of MFD pickups and KiOgon loom. Think it might be a Classic Vibe or VM Squier. Lovely off white colour (compare next to my white Jazz). Anodised gold scratchplate, thumb rest and pup cover. I used this with a superb P neck that I’ve now fitted to a jazz bass.
